The Worst Girl Gang Ever

S8 E62 | When Hope Turns to Heartbreak: Jade’s Experience of Baby Loss


Listen Later

In this heartbreaking and deeply powerful episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we’re joined by Jade courageously shares her story of stillbirth at 6 months pregnant following IVF.

After a seemingly healthy pregnancy and a smooth IVF journey, Jade faced every parent’s worst nightmare: reduced movements at 27 weeks, medical missteps at the hospital, and ultimately, the stillbirth of her daughter Thea. Her story shines a stark light on the devastating reality of baby loss, NHS failures, the physical and emotional trauma of stillbirth, and the lifelong journey of grief.

Jade opens up about:

  • The emotional rollercoaster of IVF and pregnancy after infertility

  • The devastating hospital mistakes that led to a missed stillbirth diagnosis

  • The trauma of giving birth after loss, and holding her daughter Thea

  • Grieving milestones: due dates, funerals, and navigating friendships during loss

  • How cold water swimming, group therapy, writing letters, and “Thea Made Me Do It” moments help her cope and mother her daughter in her absence

  • This is an essential listen for anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss, stillbirth, neonatal death, or is supporting someone who has. It’s also a powerful reminder to healthcare professionals of the importance of sensitivity, communication, and follow-up care.
